Aberdeen Secure Crucial Victory Over Hibs to Give Robinson Maiden Win

Aberdeen earned a vital Scottish Premiership win over 10-man Hibernian, with Kevin Nisbet scoring twice to hand Stephen Robinson his first victory as head coach. The match turned in Aberdeen's favor when Grant Hanley was sent off for bringing down Toyosi Olusanya, and Nisbet converted the resulting penalty. The striker added a second goal with 15 minutes left, securing a 2-0 win for the Dons. Aberdeen had been struggling, with only one win in their last 16 matches, but this victory gives them a much-needed boost in their bid to avoid the relegation play-off spot. Hibs, who were unbeaten in their last five matches, were unable to recover from the setback of Hanley's red card and the subsequent penalty. The win marks a significant turnaround for Aberdeen, who had been drawn into the relegation battle, and provides a morale-boosting clean sheet for the team. Robinson praised his team's performance, saying they 'stood up today and were counted,' while Hibs boss David Gray felt the conditions were tough and the decision to send off Hanley was correct, although unfortunate.
